Auf Berg is an exclusive residential area in the municipality of Mauren, extending over the scenic southern slopes of the Maurerberg at an altitude of over 500 meters. The neighborhood is characterized by loose development with spacious single-family homes and gardens that benefit from the sunny exposure and a favorable microclimate. From here, one enjoys an extensive view over the Liechtenstein Unterland, the adjacent Vorarlberger Ried, and as far as Lake Constance. Historically, the area was a pure hamlet that only developed into a preferred residential location for nature lovers in recent decades. The immediate proximity to the Birka nature reserve and the Maurer Wald makes Auf Berg a well-suited starting point for hikes and nature observations. Despite its quiet seclusion, the village center of Mauren can be reached in just a few minutes, further increasing the location's appeal.
